He needed “Good Christian Bitches/Belles” to prove that?

This silly show was believed to have needed the nominal church membership of its “ladies” in order to sound a little more sizzling. But the writers, AFAIK, don’t actually work anything about Christianity into the story other than identifying the “belles” as churchgoers. It’s just an idiotic story that is outclassed by just about any actual soap opera.

I read that the NY Times had an ad today urging people to leave the Catholic Church. Betcha you’ll never see an ad urging people to leave any other religion.

Anto-Christian bias? It's an all out assult on Christians; very ‘in your face’ it seems to me.

This is a first for modern times, except for atheistic ads which are equal opportunity scoffers focusing on no particular religious following.

Haha, coward Mittsky is skipping the Sunday shows again?

Here’s Newt on Greta last night talking about a floor fight at the convention. Only thing that worries me is him thinking there’s any chance “Iran” Paul would join up with him and Rick instead of Mittsky. He needs to come up with a strategy that rules that unlikelihood out.

Based on the premiere rating, it won’t be on TV long enough to matter.

It drew just over 7 million, which is low for a network premiere.

Based on comments in FR related threads and entertainment websites, it didn’t grab the audience. Many stated they watched a few minutes and turned it off — out of boredom.

Yes, it’s definitely a first. I didn’t see the ad myself, so I don’t know exactly what it said.

Oh, boy, Newt, you said something that the left will

come after you. Every little increment the communist's do

to our society will be hard to undo. Go, Newt.
